To look at the picture most would see a really good pic of a broken down wheelbarrow. And it is...
When I look at it I see an old friend that was with me in the many trips around the yard helping me clean up, helping me cary things that I could not carry alone. An old friend that helped me build the house that my family lives in now. It was there to help clean up each of my children's rooms during construction. It helped me plant a garden. It did everything I asked it to without complaining or asking for payment.
I think sometimes I could learn a lot from my old friend... I pray that God feels like he could use me to do his work, to carry his blessings forward so that others might enjoy them as well. And that I always feel like God is in control of my situation, even when I feel as though I have so much to carry. And I know that at the end of each trip with these burdens on my back, that shortly my God will remove them from me and grant me relief.
The difference between me and that old wheelbarrow is that when I am broken and bruised, My God will not set me aside but he will restore me as new.
So glad that when I am broken and bruised that God does not leave me broken and bruised but that He shapes me into a beautiful vessel to be used for Him! I am glad He never gives up on me and that I am always in the palm of my Masters hand! He holds me and he guides me in the most amazing ways and sometimes I dont see it until I feel I am so bruised that I can not get up again but when I find enough strength to pull up my head, I catch a glimplse of where He has been all along, holdiing me in the palm of His hand>
